Rumor: Grand Theft Auto VI has been in pre-production since 2014 & will feature a large map at launch
- Thread starter Deleted member 59955
- Start date
Early development for a GTA game means we're not getting to see it announced for another 4 years. Add a year for a delay and maybe another 6 months just in case, are you saying GTA VI is coming no sooner than Holiday 2025? 12 years after GTA V?
Nah, this thing is coming within 2 years for sure. Even then, that's 9 whopping years after the previous entry.
Kotaku just said early in development two weeks ago but that Rockstar might release it unfinished and just update it for a while after to get out in a more reasonable timeframe for their workers.
Do you not want to see night time Vice City with all the neon lights and ray traced reflections?
They should just go all out if they do it. Half life alyx that shit lol.
GTA changed perspectives multiple times before (birds eye, 3rd person, 1st person), it wouldn't be unheard of.
Instead of a pseduo-sized major city, I'd love to see a more realistically-recreated modest-sized city and surrounding areas at a 1:1 scale.
Absolutely. Pre-production in 2014 makes perfect sense, but full on production in 2014 seems a bit much and that was what I was referring to.
Yan & Fun are not random insiders. Yan particularly has been leaking in the GTA community for years and has a 100% track record, out of all insiders on the internet he probably has the best reputation. He has never gotten a single thing wrong. I'm friends with Fun on the GTAForums and he's an extremely trustworthy guy, who has a lot of inside knowledge about R*. He's been datamining GTA/RDR for years.
I don't know why they have conflicting info compared to Schrier but they aren't "random insiders".
Scaling back doesn't mean a small map when the size of Rockstar maps are gargantuan. The result would still be a huge map.
Am I missing something, or does his statement literally not make sense. If its in pre-prod, its still in early development, would it not?
That's fine lol I was simply restating the news post a little while back. It can mean a dozen different things
He didn't, he just that one plan for the game is for it to be a moderately sized release (still large by R*'s standards) which would then be expanded upon after launch. He never said anything about the map size.
It's ambiguously worded but you can take it to mean that's when it started pre-production, not that it's still in it.
I'm wondering as well. I put thousands of hours into GTA Online, but what would carry over? If our properties carry over, I think they'd have to recreate the map in GTA 6 Online. Otherwise, it would not fit in terms of visual fidelity if they just port it over.
I think this is an issue not just R* faces with GTA Online, but basically any publisher with a long going GaaS game. How do you make a sequel to a GaaS game without pissing off the people who've put an extreme amount of time into the currently released game, and also how do you not launch with less content? I can't imagine a GTA6 MP mode launching with even 50% of the content GTA Online currently has.
I honestly think the best thing R* could do is just spin GTA Online off as its own product which gets updates for decades to come, including a full graphical make-over every 5-10 years. And then whenever a new mainline GTA releases they can add that GTA's map to GTA Online, or replace it if the new game shares a setting with an older GTA.
Yeah that sounds like the best approach. They recreated RDR1's map just for RDR2 so I can see them doing it again for GTA.
same site lol
and just to be clear, of course GTAVI has been in development for a good while now, but production in 2014? nah.
RockStar always starts preproduction a year after the last game released, I think 2014 makes sense

I would be down for an European settings, especially if they go the multiple map/dlc route it'll make more sense too... UK, France, Germany etc...

Pre production for the next GTA game happens almost as soon as the previous one has shipped. I'd guess it's been in full scale development for at least the last two years at this point.
For some strange reason people think because they made RDR2 recently that there isn't a completely different smaller team working on the next GTA.
People like to parrot the 'every single employee was working on RDR2' narrative, whilst conveniently ignoring that GTAV has constantly been getting new stuff.
Large map is cool.
Just give us more cool shit to do in-game. I thought the stock market aspect in 5 was cool but I would love a GTA where I can be let's say a drug dealer or underground black market seller on the side.
A co-op feature would be nice. More car and character customization too.

There will be a GTA VI team and a GTA Online team. Both will have gotten a huge employee boost after RDR2 wrapped.
I'm expecting GTA VI in late 2022.
Did Rockstar even say that every employee was working on RDR2? They said all the studios worked on it but that doesn't mean every single team within said studios was working on it at the same time.
Hope there's more gameplay this time around: ambulance, taxi, cop roles, drug dealing etc. Support for role playing would be great too.
damn they are ruining grand theft auto, the hallway gameplay is what made those games good.

The details from the different reports are so vague we can't really take anything from them.
GTAVI, or some form, has absolutely been at some level of pre-production since 2014/2015 - maybe without any of the major players or vast resources but foundations would be getting laid and tested in various capacities. Guessing development has only truly ramped up in the last two years; and the development of these games is incredibly demanding and I can only imagine they're tinkering a lot with the games structure. I'm guessing they didn't have a clear direction for the game, and that goes with quotes from them over the last couple of years, which has meant development has been anything but streamlined.
Gotta throw a vague Q3 2022-Q4 2023 guess on this game dropping.
People are reading too much into the small map stuff, the map will of course be large but they're not getting into the arms race from games recently about larger and larger maps and instead just focusing on a more modest sized map with more detail.
Also lets not rule out these being controlled leaks anyway to keep people expectations in check while simultaneously putting the game in people's minds. It's coming, just not that soon.
GTA Online is going to be a massive headache for them and how that's handled

To be fair Taxi was already a thing in GTA 5
but yeah im fully expecting them to expand on the role playing stuff, RDR 2 already set up the framework for it.
He's saying the game is not in early development. It started pre-production in 2014, and now (2020) is much farther in the development phase.
I don't believe GTA 6 is in early development. I think it's pretty far into development. Reveal next year, release 2022.
I want to play another linear Rockstar game like Max Payne 3. All the Rockstar resources packed into a smaller scope game? It would be decadent.
The only thing GTA needs to do is tone down the Cop Aggressiveness AI .... 4 and 5 made shootouts just too hard and frustrating for it to be any fun.
12 switchable characters confirmed, it will zoom out to space this time though and round the world with a satellite, and zoom back in but you'll be playing the character you selected.
